Talking to the locals, we learned about a place called "Cafe Des Amis". Every Saturday morning, starting at 7:00 A.M. people gather in this small place to have breakfast, bloody mary and dance. The band played Zydeco music, non-stop, till noon. Everyone danced, including myself and my wife.

The YouTube video below is a blend of images taken with my Pentax K-3 equipped with the DA* 16-50mm. The video clips were taken with the K-3 and the iPhone 5S. The montage was done using my iPad and iMovie. All the still images were captured with the K-3.

I have a hard time crawling out of bed by 9:00 A.M. but these folks are playing Zydeco music at 7:00 A.M.

Taken with the K-3, at ISO 2000 to capture the ambiance and I added the vignetting with Adobe Lightroom.

The smc Pentax DA* 16-50 is a great portrait lens.

Here is another example of the soft bokeh of the DA 16-50.

Thank you for reading. Keep using you Pentax equipment. Pentax is gaining on the competition. I'm glad that Ricoh took Pentax under it's wings.
